If you use your quad to lift your leg, it's next to impossible to get over 90 degrees because your flexed quad is in the way.Try turning out more to access the muscle under your thigh.

That probably won't happen without eating a lot, and doing a lot of weighted exercises. It's just the weight of your leg, don't worry about it. Even supposing it did bulk up, it would be worth it. Once you got a high RoM you are satisfied with, you wouldn't need to practise as much, and go back to normal. Besides, RoM is more important than being petite.
